May 7, 2024

April 22 - April 28, 2024

1. Auctions sales statistics

The volume of cars at auctions has rebounded and returned to its earlier levels, ensuring a dependable supply of vehicles. Despite this temporary dip, there have been no significant disruptions in vehicle availability. Both auctions have consistently maintained a flow of cars, contributing to seamless operations and a stable inventory for buyers.
Performance metrics, including the number of cars sold and approval ratings, have not only weathered the minor reduction in car volume but are also showing signs of improvement and growth.
In summary, insurance auto auctions provide a stable and consistent environment, with evidence of car volume returning to previous levels. Operations continue to run smoothly, and key performance indicators are not only stable but also showing positive growth trends.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

2014 FERRARI FF

Final bid: $78,775 USD

The 2014 Ferrari FF HB wasn't your typical Ferrari. "HB" stands for "Hatchback," making this a unique Ferrari that blended breathtaking performance with surprising practicality.

It catered to a discerning driver who craved the performance and prestige of a Ferrari but also appreciated practicality and everyday usability

2007 ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM VI

Final bid: $55,175 USD

A 2007 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI beckons, a rare and enigmatic machine from a bygone era. The Phantom VI embodies the golden age of motoring. Its timeless silhouette, with its straight lines and imposing presence, is instantly recognizable. Every curve and detail whispers elegance and heritage. Unlike modern mass production, each Phantom VI was meticulously built by hand using only the finest materials. The leather upholstery, polished wood paneling, and intricate details throughout the cabin are testaments to this dedication to quality

1991 PORSCHE 911

Final bid: $46,500 USD

The 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa offered a unique blend of open-air thrills and classic Porsche performance. Imagine the iconic 911 silhouette, but with a removable roof panel above the driver and passenger seats, creating a exhilarating semi-convertible experience. The 911 Carrera's instantly recognizable lines are even more captivating in the Targa configuration. The removable roof panel adds a touch of sophistication while retaining the sporty essence of a Porsche

5. Cars with the most bids

Cars that have the most bids are the ones that are most popular among buyers and have the most competition for purchase. It's important to note that just because a car has many bids, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best deal or in the best condition. It's always important to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and do research on its history before making a bid.
